Hi all,
Interesting problem here. I am working on extracting old Chinese texts which are written in vertical lines, but first I need to rectify the images like:
After rectification:
But originally they can be in whatever shapes like:
The only thing guaranteed is that those characters are arranged in multiple vertical lines.
I tried to use Uncalibrated Stereo Image Rectification ( https://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/examples/uncalibrated-stereo-image-rectification.html ), but problem is that the images are NOT in pair, so I only know the target pattern rather than the exact target.
If anyone can provide hints about useful functions, please let me know. First-step solutions like automatically rotating the image to the right angle will also be helpful!
Thanks a lot!
